About That Sober Guy Podcast

Shane Ramer is the founder and host of That Sober Guy Podcast, a culture and performance platform examining what happens when high-performing men remove alcohol and reclaim clarity, focus, and leverage. Since launching the show in 2014, Shane has reached millions of listeners across 100+ countries by challenging conventional narratives around masculinity, success, and sobriety. His work sits at the intersection of identity, discipline, and modern performance. Shane works privately with executives, founders, athletes, and creatives who are no longer interested in numbing high performance with low-level coping tools. His approach reframes sobriety not as healing, but as optimization, removing friction so men can operate with precision in business, health, and leadership. He is also the creator of the Sober Male Index, a performance-focused data project tracking how sobriety impacts focus, productivity, income, and social dynamics in men. Shane is a husband of 20 years, a father of two, and lives his work through faith, fitness, and daily discipline.

Published 8 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And it's detrimental to my faith and to my daily operation because it creates worry, it creates anxiety, it creates control. And so we've been studying John 6 in this week of our men's group. And so, I mean, what a great, you know, what a great part of scripture, story-wise, scripture-wise, to talk about this a little bit more. Jesus had this massive crowd following him. And thousands of people, and it says 5,000 men. I love when we read the Bible and we actually, no matter how many times you read it, maybe you pick up something different.
